I’ve been feeling good and happy the last few day. Things are starting to get back to the new normal.
Sunday knitting has started up again. The first one was Sunday just gone. There were only a few of us but it was great to see and talk to other people that you don’t live with.
I didn’t really do allot of knitting because I spent a lot of time talking to people and wondering round the shop. I suppose I should point out that during the session we were upstairs and all socially distance.
During the session I carried on with the socks I’m doing for mum. She wants them ribbed all the way down too the heal so it’s taking a bit more time than normal. And I haven’t really been working on them solidly.
So what else’s has been going on? So yeah I told you about dad. I think that is the most eventful thing that’s happened. So yeah had knitting at weekend, we’ve had a trip to Bury and nowt else.
I went to Clark’s the week before knitting started up again to get some wool for a shawl for mum and som sock wool fore mum and dad. I’m still doing the first bit of the first sock. So I’ve got somethingto keep me occupied.
So a couple of weeks ago I talked about a new hobby. Zentangle and sanntangle it’s all about drawing different patterns. There are a few other things involved but it is very relaxing and mindful.
I suppose I should show you some of the work I’ve done. So here you go:
So the first tile I did was from the Sanntangle book. The rest are from the Zentangle primer. I’m just working my way through that at the moment. At the moment it’s just doing individual patterns so I’m using that as an excuse to practice the designs and learn the new ones to me.
Once I’ve finished the Primer I’ll start going through the Sanntangle books.I also have some blank greeting cards that I can use and fill for birthdays and stuff. From working on the paper tiles it gave me an idea to work on something else. A few weeks ago I made a blue face mask:
That face mask is ok and I’ve amused it a few times. The main problem is that where I wear it and breath it steams up my glasses. Which if you know, is really annoying. Try pushing yourself round in a wheel chair with steamed up glasses. It’s not easy.
After that wonderful experience I fixed I need a better mask that is a bit bigger. I wanted to do some tangle work and this is what I came up with:
I think it looks cool and I can safely say no one else will have one. I’ve also got some stencils for the Sanntangle works that I can use for cards or other things. Yesterday on our trip to Bury I bought a chest. I’m going to use it as a tangle chest. It’s blank at the moment but it will be decorated with different patterns..
So today I’m happy but down. My MS is playing up today, I’m sore, in lots of pains, achy, dizzy and to top it all off I’ve got a headache.
I want to point out that Disney plus is awesome. I’m loving it. I’m working way through some classic films. Yesterday I watched 20000 leagues under the sea. It’s full of old programmes like The Gummy Bears. It’s all of the episodes and series so you can binge watch. I’m also working through Gargoyles. I used to love it when I was younger so there is a bit of reliving my youth through TV programs and films.
Right at the moment I’m fighting to keep my eyes open so I’m off for a nap. See you all soon.
Love and light.
